New export controls on technologies
that Beijing deems sensitive are
threatening to derail efforts by
American companies to acquire
TikTok's U.S. operations from its
Chinese parent company ByteDance,

national-security grounds. Oracle is
also reported to be in negotiations
with ByteDance.
Between the lines: "If Beijing blocks
the sale of TikTok, it would
